We urge the American government to create a restriction for the protection of the Amazon, protecting the forest, animals and people who are affected by abuses financed by American companies.
Over the past three years, BlackRock, Citigroup, JPMorgan Chase, Vanguard, Bank of America and Dimensional Fund Advisor have invested more than 18 billion dollars in mining, agribusiness and energy companies involved in a series of abuses against the world's largest forest. These companies must respect rights, life and territories, which are increasingly affected.
US financial companies are contributing to environmental destruction and are also helping to promote abuses against Amazonian people and indigenous peoples, by investing billions of dollars in the companies associated with these actions.
The survey accuses large companies of land expropriation, violence against indigenous people, illegal deforestation and the harmful use of harmful pesticides.
It is important to remember that the Amazon Forest is not only important for Brazilians, but for the whole world.
The Amazon rainforest represents a third of the world's tropical forests, and contains more than half of the planet's biodiversity, having a function in the maintenance of ecological services such as: guaranteeing the quality of the soil, fresh water supplies and protecting biodiversity.
The environment is being greatly harmed by these actions, we must take care of the planet so that it does not collapse, that is why we must control deforestation in each company, the indigenous people must not lose their homes. we must control the funds sent to companies that come with high rates of deforestation.
